It is a valid alternative test :-) ubuntu@i-qemu-static:~$ sudo chroot /mnt/rpi/ echo 1 2 3 2 3 To make this slightly more interesting I also used it to run RiscV code with the image from https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/20.04.3/release/ubuntu-20.04.3-preinstalled-server-riscv64+unmatched.img.xz ubuntu@i-qemu-static:~$ sudo chroot /mnt/risc/ echo 1 2 3 2 3 Oh in case anyone wonders, we can check the target arch, but due to the bug need it twice until the bug is fixed $ sudo chroot /mnt/risc/ dpkg --print-architecture --print-architecture riscv64 ubuntu@i-qemu-static:~$ sudo chroot /mnt/rpi/ dpkg --print-architecture --print-architecture arm64 ubuntu@i-qemu-static:~$ sudo chroot armTest-I dpkg --print-architecture --print-architecture armhf ---- Update ubuntu@i-qemu-static:~$ sudo apt install qemu-user-static Reading package lists...
